   Launch windows when launching to GEO?

   Tonight, an Atlas 5 is going to launch an Inmarsat satellite. The launch   
   window opens at 2142 UTC and closes 15 minutes later.   
      
   -why? Why is there a launch window when launching to GEO? Couldn't a   
   satellite destined for GEO be launched at any time?
